Why not just add the comment and leave it as list_del_init(), then, in
fmt_free() -> fmt->free() -> hse_free() (for instance), have:

	BUG_ON(!list_empty(&fmt->list));
	BUG_ON(!list_empty(&fmt->sort_list));

The patch would be smaller and overall the code would be more robust?

Ditto, just ditch what you said you would do in the cset comment, i.e.
ditch the extra "list_del_init(&fmt->list);" call, no?
